Volunteer - Social Worker Panel Member
Location - Buckfast
This opportunity is for a committed and enthusiastic person to join our experienced Adoption Panel team. Panels play a vital role in overseeing the approval of prospective adopters.
We are looking for someone who is a HCPC registered Social Worker.
Families for Children hold monthly Panel meetings on Mondays and Wednesdays. Panel Members are not asked to attend every meeting; the frequency of which is agreed between the Panel Member and the Panel Administrator, based on availability and Agency need.
We are looking for people with experience in adoption or fostering (either professionally or personally), who would be able to commit to reading panel papers and attending panel meetings at pre-arranged times.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check.
